That’s why we’re challenging you to take an introspective look at how your social media behavior affects your mental well-being. On top of that, 29 percent of respondents said they need at least a few days of break to benefit from a social media hiatus, while that number jumps to 46 percent among 15 to 24-year-olds. That number jumps to 66 percent among those with a mental health condition that started or worsened during the pandemic. Of those we asked, 25 percent said they feel it has a negative effect on their mental well-being, and 53 percent said they feel that cutting down on usage could help. In a recent Healthline survey, we asked readers how they feel about social media. To help you do just that, Healthline and Psych Central invite you to join our 10-Day Digital Disconnect Challenge on Instagram. There are plenty of upsides to online connection, but how do we find balance with the constant flurry of input from friends, family, celebrities, and brands constantly vying for our attention? Many of us are so mixed up with our social accounts that it’s difficult to remember what we did before the feed. What would your mental health look like in a world without social media? Pretty hard to imagine, right? Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Also, physical activity helps maintain muscle tone, your ability to move and your mental well-being, especially as you age. This might lead to weight loss and increased energy. The impact of movement - even leisurely movement - can be profound.

You might start by simply standing rather than sitting when you have the chance. Overall, research seems to point to the fact that less sitting and more moving contribute to better health. Other studies have found that for people who are most active sitting time contributes little to their risk of death. However, unlike some other studies, this analysis of data from more than 1 million people found that 60 to 75 minutes of moderately intense physical activity a day countered the effects of too much sitting. They found that those who sat for more than eight hours a day with no physical activity had a risk of dying similar to that posed by obesity and smoking. Researchers analyzed 13 studies of sitting time and activity levels.
Any extended sitting - such as at a desk, behind a wheel or in front of a screen - can be harmful.
